Spot slope tool

Anonymous · ‎2016-11-25

Is there any way in Archicad to detect slope angles of 3d-elements?

For example if I have a 3D mesh of the site and I need to define levels of the water drains according to minimum slope angles. It would be convenient to just draw arrows in plan to check the slope angle. Now I have done it by adding level measurements and calculate angle in my head (or with calculator).

I remember that there was some kind of spot slope tool in Revit? Is there something similar in Archicad?

Seems like there isn't that kind of tool in Archicad...

So, when is ArchiCAD getting a Spot Slope tool ???

I get incredibly triggered when i find something Revit can do easily and ArchiCAD can't (yet).

Dumb text annotation can't be the answer.

Isn't it mostly the other way 'round?

You define the slopes first and then model it....

It depends, it can be useful many times. I think there should be a tool for this in Archicad too.
